Aim for at least 64 ounces or more per day. -No alcohol products. -Eat less red meat and for right now, less fish products. -Add fiber to the diet. Beans are a good source of protein and fiber. -Food with lower potassium levels right now would be healthier for you, avoid orange juice which is high in potassium.
An update to an earlier post: after flu/cold and hospitalization in Dec, GFR tanked again, lower than it had last year when I had the flu then also. (Yes, I have a flu shot every year, go figure.) I have a neph appointment next week to re-do labs to see if GFR has improved any and to discuss options just in case. Sign me Disappointed Kamama94.
A high level of creatinine can be an indication that something is wrong. If your kidneys aren’t working properly, the level of creatinine in your blood can build up. This can lead to uremia, a life-threatening disorder. So the levels need to be lowered. How they are lowered is determined by the cause.
Intermittent Fasting with Chronic Kidney Disease. I'm new to this group. I am 74 years old and was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease 8 years ago. I have managed to avoid dialysis so far. My creatinine has fluctuated between 3.5 and 4.5 during the entire 8 years.

REPLY. kimberlyharris | @kimberlyharris | May 2, 2019. Lower protein intake. They say to eat lean meat such as chicken, and only about the size of a deck of cards per day. Also watch your phosphorus intake which is found in colas, beans, organ meat, dairy, etc. You can pull up a list on the internet.
Normal serum creatinine range is 0.55-1.02 mg/dl and normal urine creatinine ranges from 40 to 300. My serum creatinine is high at 2 mg/dl and my neph told me to restrict my protein to 35 grams or less daily hoping to get the level down. So it seems logical to me that eating less protein might very well decrease your urine creatinine.
Yes. Drinking water and reducing protein intake is easier on the kidneys. Also watch the phosphorus in your diet. Phosphorus is found in dairy, legumes, and organ meat. I was in Stage 5 kidney failure before my transplant. Cutting the phosphorus made me feel much better and, in my opinion, helped keep me off dialysis before surgery.
Here's some information I found on the test. "Normal BUN levels can vary, but generally a high level of blood urea nitrogen is a sign that your kidneys are not working correctly. However, abnormal results don't always indicate that you have a medical condition needing treatment. Higher than normal BUN levels can also be caused by dehydration ...
My tacro levels were never the same from one draw to another, yet for the most part they were within therapeutic range. If your numbers are still within the levels the doctors want for you - and that will change over time - it's a "not to worry." As far as food and meds, what you have for dinner the night before labs can also affect your levels.
